Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 197 They may be targeting us

The latest website: "The Premier League this season has come to an end, and all the suspense is over... In the last round of the league, Wiggerston, who was originally ranked third, lost 2:4 at home to North London Wanderers unexpectedly, and lost the Champions League at the last minute Qualification. Tramed, who was originally ranked fifth, successfully landed and entered the top four of the league with a 2:1 away performance against Walderhampton... It is worth mentioning that last season's league champion Leeds City , did not perform well this season, and finally only finished ninth in the league and missed the European theater. However, they have not completely lost hope-if they can beat Sevilla in the Europa League final on May 27 Leah Navigator, if you win the championship, you can also participate in the Champions League next season..."

The news was summarizing the just-concluded Premier League, but Pierre Brent didn't really care. He only glanced up when his team's name was mentioned.

But the assistant coach next to him, Jorge Renault, couldn't help complaining: "Beat us to win the championship? To participate in the Champions League next season? They have a good idea!"

The performance of the Sevilla Navigators in La Liga this season is not satisfactory. There is only one round left in the league, and they have 56 points, ranking sixth.

If they want to get fourth place in the league and qualify for the Champions League, they not only have to beat Barcelona Sarria away in the last round of the league, but also count on fourth place Valentia losing away to Real Cardinals. Steele and the fifth-ranked Getafe 1326 also had to lose at home to Real Caterjon. Only when these three conditions are met at the same time can Voyager successfully land and get fourth in the league.

This is too difficult for the Sevilla navigators. It is not as easy as winning the Europa League and participating in the Champions League as the Europa League champion...

"Jorge, have you watched the last two Leeds games, did you notice anything?" Brent asked.

"There is one thing that bothers me..."

Reynolds proceeded to lay out what he had observed.

That's about Dominic Lasky.

After the game between Leeds City and Sandwell, some English media were discussing the Leeds City team creating opportunities for Lasky.

They were very puzzled during the game. After the game, they wanted to find answers from the Leeds City players, but they were all stumped.

All Leeds City players who appeared in front of the camera kept this issue secret!

Either prevaricate it, or never mention it at all.

It was originally a very common thing, but the reaction of the Leeds City players immediately made it unusual...

It's like telling the reporters: "We have absolutely nothing to hide from you."

So the reporters ran to ask the team coach Clark.

As a result, Clark said in the post-match press conference that he didn't know what happened, and he didn't arrange a tactic for the whole team to assist Lasky. In other words, it's entirely up to the players to do it on their own.

But it seems that Clark is not very disgusted with this kind of players' private actions-he smiled at the press conference and said that this shows that Laski has been well integrated into the team, and he is happy for it.

This answer made the reporters even more puzzled.

"I always feel that there is a taste of conspiracy in it..." Renault analyzed after finishing speaking. "Obviously Clark knew what was going on inside the team, but he said he didn't know, which seemed to be covering up... If the players didn't say anything, it might be that they were silenced by the coaching staff and they were not allowed to publicize it. Then What needs to be kept from the players? I think it might have something to do with Leeds and our Europa League final..."

Speaking of this, Renault glanced at Brent, and if the other party thought his idea was too ridiculous, he would not say anything.

But Brent waved his hand: "Go on."

"It's like this... I found that the situation in the last league game didn't happen only once. In the last round of the league, Leeds City played Thorpton away, and this happened, but it was not so exaggerated. That game The players of Leeds City also deliberately passed a lot of balls to Laski, but Laski didn't grasp it, so he didn't score... I think this should be rehearsing the tactics against us in the Europa League final. After all, everyone knows that Hu is the number one scorer in Leeds City, and Clark knows that we must also know, so we should make special defensive arrangements for this..."

Brent nodded. He was indeed considering a targeted defensive strategy against Hou Lai. In his opinion, as long as Hou Lai could be frozen, the so-called powerful offensive firepower threat of Leeds City could be directly reduced by half.

Since he can know this, how could the head coach of Leeds City, Tony Clark, not think of this?

He will also try his best to avoid the situation where Hu Lai is frozen and Leeds City's offense fails.

"...and finding a 'backup' for Hu should be the only feasible approach in a short period of time." Renault continued to analyze, "Laski's recent form is also very good, and he has improved rapidly since joining Leeds City, so let him He came to back up Hu, which is logical. At the same time, I also noticed that in the last league game, Laski’s last goal was a through ball sent by Hula after he left the penalty area. You must know that Hu is not a player who likes to assist his teammates. Such a through pass is unheard of in Hu. Another thing may also confirm my speculation-in the Europa League semi-final second leg, Lasky scored twice. And he scored the winning goal It was Hu who passed the ball... that was Hu's first assist in the Europa League."

After Renault finished his analysis, he quietly looked at Brent beside him.

Brent, on the other hand, was lost in thought.

After thinking about it for an unknown amount of time, he nodded and agreed with Renault's analysis: "Lasky has also scored 20 goals in various competitions this season, and he is the No. 2 scorer in the Leeds City team. He is a striker that cannot be ignored...so, when defending, Lasky is also considered as a key target."

"Okay." Renault nodded and wrote down the matter.

"But don't relax the importance of Hu because of this. He is still our priority defensive object in the game." Brent added.

"Understood. It is impossible to let anyone go."

"Well... After doing a good job of defending, all that remains is to wait for Leeds City to lose patience a little bit. Their tactics lack changes, and they lack other means except offense. Such opponents really need to be dealt with better..."

Renault smiled.

In the semi-finals, he said that he would rather meet Leeds City in the Champions League final than London Bridge.

Leeds City helped the Navigator solve the London Bridge, in fact, it can be regarded as helping the Seville Navigator solve the biggest obstacle to winning the championship.

"Okay, let's put the Europa League aside and consider playing well in the last round of the league. Sarria is all about qualifying for the Europa League from us, and they must not let them do what they want." Lunt waved his hand.

"To be honest, I still feel magical until now..."

Yong Jun shook his head and said to Zhang Qinghuan with emotion.

"What magic?" Zhang Qinghuan asked.

"A team that was still fighting for relegation in the first half of the season now has a chance to qualify for the Europa League next season... I seem to have read this story somewhere... Leeds City was like this last season. The goal is to avoid relegation, but he managed to become the league champion. Oh, yes, Shining Star! The same is true for Shining Star. The one who survived relegation and became the champion..."

Zhang Qinghuan laughed: "Hu Lai still said in the group that this is the glorious tradition of Xingxing. I used to think he was telling nonsense seriously, but now I think it might be true!"

"The Navigator of Seville is not easy to deal with, even if it is your home court."

"Go all out, do your best to fulfill your destiny." Zhang Qinghuan's mentality is not bad.

"But if you win the Seville Navigator, Hu Lai's side will be in danger."

"why?"

"If Voyager loses to you, the only way left is to win the Europa League. This is not good news for Leeds City..."

"Uncle Yong, you are thinking too much. No matter whether you lose to us or not, the pressure on Hu Lai will not be less. Even if you qualify for the Champions League next season ahead of time, the Voyagers will definitely win the Europa League. After all, this is a game known as the 'Seville Navigator Cup'...Since they have reached the final, if they don't win the championship in the end, wouldn't they be sorry for the nickname?"

Zhang Qinghuan's words awakened Yong Jun, who was concerned but chaotic. He froze for a moment, then nodded, realizing that what Zhang Qinghuan said was right.

"So... since our results won't affect the other side, why not give it a go? It would be great if we qualified for the Europa League..."

Yong Jun laughed: "If you can really participate in the Europa League, it must be of great benefit to your career!"

Zhang Qinghuan shook his head: "I didn't think so far, Uncle Yong. I'm just... I want to go to the Europa League to see and see, just like Hu Lai."
